mengurangi kegiatan mengajar
Explanation:
"Off" dipakai untuk menunjukkan "movement away from." Dalam konteks ini floor kemungkinan besar menunjuk pada kelas atau kegiatan mengajar (cf. shop floor, factory floor, etc).
Kalimat ini nampaknya mau mengatakan bahwa sebagai Kepsek bisa saja minta laporan dari para guru karena dengan demikian akan lebih banyak informasi, namun kesibukan memberi laporan/paper work tsb akan mengurangi waktu para guru untuk mengajar.

meninggalkan kelas


Explanation:
Menurut penafsiran saya, 'off the floor' yg dimaksud di sini adalah 'meninggalkan kelas.'

Jadi, kalau diterjemahkan secara lengkap:

"sebagai kepala sekolah, Anda akan mendapatkan lebih banyak informasi bila Anda meminta laporan tambahan, tapi Anda juga akan membuat para guru lebih sering meninggalkan kelas."

Mereka lebih sering meninggalkan kelas karena harus lebih sering memberikan laporan tambahan yg diminta kepala sekolah.
